The Return of the Chimera
The Chimera are the main enemies of the Resistance franchise. For those new to the story, it is believed that the Chimera are of extraterrestrial origin. Yet, it is known that their army expands by infecting humans with a virus that transforms humans into Chimera while inside a cocoon. These creatures are much stronger than humans, and they usually have multiple yellow eyes. They have remarkable healing abilities and thrive in very cold temperatures, which has led them to alter the Earth's climate to a much lower temperature that better suits their habitat requirements.
Resistance 2 introduces several new Chimeran enemies with a host of new powers. A few new characters include the Chameleon, a creature that can cloak itself completely and kill a player in one, destructive blow, and the Grim, which are a terrifying species that attack in hordes.
The Battle Moves to the United States
After the brief opening scenes in London and then Iceland, game play jumps ahead two years and across the globe to San Francisco. Giant, mile-long motherships slowly cruise through the skies, demolishing the city with fiery beams. The city is burned and mangled, and it appears that there will be little to no survivors. As the battle continues across the United States, you're sure to encounter many new, deranged, and much more powerful enemies.
In Chicago, you'll be joined by a squad of soldiers, all carrying different weapons. To survive and move through the level, you'll need to work together, moving from cover to cover, setting up your squad in a smart and defensive manner. These are just a few examples of the challenging levels you'll encounter as you battle your way across the country to save humankind. And if you're hoping for new weapons, Resistance 2 won't leave you disappointed. The US-based campaign is loaded with tons of new weapons to enhance the overall game play and first-person shooter experience.
Online game play Goes BIG
Powered by Insomniac Games' third-generation PlayStation 3 technology, Resistance 2 delivers several console gaming breakthroughs. Most impressive are the stand-alone, class-based, online co-operative campaign mode that can accommodate up to eight players, and the mind-blowing, 60-player, squad-based online competitive multiplayer battle fest. This unprecedented 60-player option could revolutionize online multiplayer game play and is sure to provide countless hours of action-packed fun.
Resistance 2, set in the United States, is loaded with new weapons, enemies, and an unprecedented online gaming experience.

It was very obvious from day 1 Sony and Insomniac focus was on PSN/multi-player. We heard a lot about it. Now the game is out, every bit that was promised is delivered. My most favorite parts in the game are the co-op missions. It is so much fun to play with buddies split-screen, the game levels are randomly generated. The experience is never the same any time you play back the levels.
Co-op missions are class based. Dont try to run around and get killed. You need to be organized and push inch by inch. Every one has a role to play and all of them are fun. You can play with upto 8 people online. The game completely suits itself for the number of people playing at a time. I like it when there is a minimum of 4 people, with a good medic. It is so satisfying and epic.
They have also pushed the competitive bar to 60 players. It gets really crazy at the last min when every one converges to the center. It has a similar feel to UT3 warfare mode. If you are tired of the vanilla kill count based games, R2 is the decisive answer.
We are going to be talking about R2 for a long long time to come. This has set the bar for multi-player. We are going to see a lot copy cats too. The engine has been revamped a lot from R1. The game never slows down with all the explosions and 60 people running around. It is a amazing technological achievement. Even PC games couldn’t do what R2 has done on a console. Competitive levels are much more methodical than run and gun. It takes a few shots before the person dies. So you can always move away and find a better flanking position.
Competitive multiplayer levels are very well balanced. It is not winner takes all. If you play well you become a bigger bulls eye in the map. So every one has a chance. It also increases the challenge for higher skill palyers. It is a win-win. Very well thought out maps. Take your time and play slowly. It is a very enjoyable game. If you are looking for a simple bunny hop and shoot multi-player; you are in for disappointment.
The game is slightly different from R1. No more weapons wheel. You can just carry two weapons at a time. You also get a Uncharted style fully recovering health. Some of old weapons are tweaked to make it more interesting to use. Art direction also has changed. Now visuals have a pop. Forest is no more the post apocalyptic gray burnt one.. it is a green lush forest. Every thing feels fresh and natural.
Resistance 2 is in direct competition with LBP for its massiveness. I don’t think there is any other games that packs so much content in a single disk. I have a strong feeling Insomniac filled up the entire Blu-ray disc.
Single player mode much more narrated. The game walks you through a very cinematic presentation. The games takes control of the camera to several times to show all the glorious backgrounds and set pieces. Boss battles are huge. Some of the levels are just one single big boss battle. You are just circling around slowly taking the health of the big behemoths.
So far I have killed more than 1000 enemies in single player. The game sincerely makes you feel helpless. AI is stunningly smart. My winning formula is survey, find a safe position, move & fortify, then survey again. Run and gun doesn’t seem to work. I was able to be finish R1 without thinking this much.
Audio in this game is amazing. This time it feels lot more like Hollywood. Weapons pack a punch. If you have a 7.1, close all the doors and crank up the volume. You will be in the edge of the chair through out the entire mission.
The franchise has solidified its base now. Iam very eager to see what they have under their cloak for R3. I would love to see the weapons wheel back in R3.

I was skeptical of the hype given the reviews but let me tell you this game is a must buy.
The online Coop is the most fun I have ever had playing online. I never really enjoyed competitive multiplayer before this.
The single player campaign is absolutely great. I like the story and each chapter has a completely different flavor to it with lots of variations large cinematic moments, big bosses, etc. I don’t know what people expect but to me the game was FUN. Probably the best game I played this year closely tied with MGS4.
If you like the story and back story… read the fiction and background online as well. They have built a nice world

Resistance 2 offers alot from everyone from the casual to the hardcore gamer.
This game is just too much fun.
It can be challenging and frustrating though, making you want to turn it off and try another day. Once you get past those parts of the game, you feel accomplished and overall you had fun doing it.
The campaign is extremely long (I mean this in a good way).
Online gaming is fun too, the 60 player matches can be quite something. No lag issues, even though I live in Germany.
Great Game. A++

After playing Resistance 1 [which was the first major release for PS3] I figured they could not make a sequel that would do it justice. But I stand corrected. Resistance 2 is an awesome sequel and does the franchise justice!

This is one of the top first-person shooters available on PS3. It’s not a requirement that you play the first Resistance: Fall of Man in order to follow what is going on in this one. It’s pretty simple, you’re human and you need to destroy any and all Chimera. The single player campaign is pretty good but where this game really shines is in the online multiplayer options. The 8 player online co-op is fantastic. You are on a team of up to 8 players and can select one of three different classes: soldier, medic, and spec ops. Soldiers are responsible for providing cover for their team by utilizing their shield, medics are responsible for providing health to teammates, and spec ops are responsible for providing ammo to other team members. You will have a hard time finding success in the co-op missions unless you have at least one player in each class on your squad. As you play each class type you level up and unlock new weapons and beserk powers. I have played a lot of co-op and have reached the maximum level (level 30) in all three classes. There is also online competitive multiplayer with up to 60 players in a game, which is unheard of up to now. All the typical multiplayer modes are offered: deathmatch, team deathmatch, capture the flag (although it’s called core control), and skirmish. Skirmish is my favorite mode since your objectives are constantly changing. You will be assigned to various tasks such as capturing various control points or killing a designated player on the other team. The battles feel very intimate, even with up to 60 players at one time. Each team is divided into small 5 man squads with a rival squad on the other team that you will be matched against. In short, this game is a must play for first-person shooter fans!

I bought this game on impulse, and I must say that it’s a pretty good game. It wasn’t as good as the first one, but it’s still pretty good. Story mode is here and there, but the multiplayer and Co-op more than makes up for it. Check it on Insomniac fans.

This game is great. I played the first Resistance, and absolutely loved it. I just recently got this, and after playing through a couple levels, I can honestly say it’s one of the best shooters I’ve ever played. Great graphics, amazing gameplay, and the story seems to be pretty good so far as well. Also arrived in great condition, I couldn’t even tell it had been used before me. So overall, a must buy game for anyone who’s a fan of shooters and owns a PS3.
